Configuring Dependency

Context

You need to configure dependency if a determination contains multiple triggers of the same category. The framework executes identical triggers based on the sequence of the defined dependency.

Example

Consider that a change in the quantity of an item impacts multiple changes such as:

  • Change in the amount of the item
  • Change in the total amount of the Invoice

To make the required changes, you have defined multiple determinations with the category React after modification. The framework must first initiate the determination to calculate the amount of the item followed by the total amount of the invoice.

Procedure

  1. Select a node.
  2. Press Ctrl + click to open the node Overview page.
  3. Choose Determinations page.
  4. Choose a determination.
  5. Press Ctrl + click to open the determination Overview page.
  6. Choose the Dependency page.
  7. Choose New.
  8. In the Node column, choose (Browse).
  9. In the Determination Node Selection wizard, choose a node.
  10. In the Determination column, choose (Browse).
  11. In the Determination Selection wizard, choose a determination.
  12. In the Dependency column, choose the dependency type for the determination.
    1. Predecessor: This dependency type ensures that the framework will first execute the defined determination then the current determination of the node.
    2. Successor: This dependency type ensures that the framework will first execute the current determination of the node and later execute the defined determination.
  13. Save the dependency configuration.
